Calculation by Completed Credits per Grade in Student Records
Early Admission Applications via Website from 11th to 15th

Seoul National University of Science and Technology will select 66% of its total recruitment quota through early admission. This is an increase of 114 students compared to the previous year. The method of reflecting student records, which was previously calculated by grade level, will now be calculated by credit units, and the Department of Architecture recruitment unit will be eliminated, with integrated selection for the natural sciences division.


For the 2024 academic year, the university will select 1,592 students through early admission out of a total recruitment quota of 2,417. By admission type, 444 students will be selected through the High School Recommendation Admission, 877 through the Comprehensive Student Record Admission, 189 through the Essay Admission, and 69 through the Practical Skills Admission.


The High School Recommendation Admission selects students who have faithfully completed the high school curriculum. The student record grades for common subjects and general elective subjects are calculated by credit units, and the achievement conversion scores of the top three career elective subjects are added to calculate the reflected score. The minimum CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) requirement is a combined score of 7 or better in two subjects among natural sciences (Korean, Math, English, Science Exploration) or humanities (Korean, Math, English, Social Studies Exploration).
